Next day at the Auditorium, everyone gathered to see Professor Viper on the stage and telling everyone about his invention called the Bio-Band. The same thing that Jaden and Jesse had worn yesterday, "over the next few weeks you'll part-take in a series of survival duels. You will all begin with the same ranking, regardless of your dorm colour or grade level."
He then talked about how the bio band would evaluate duels and a duelists fighting spirit as well. It seemed strange how something could do all that; they would all be evaluated and given a score by dueling with them. It was even more of a shocker that if they got a low score they would go down a dorm and a second one would be expelled.
'I can't risk going down another dorm!' Rosa thought, with a sigh to herself. She didn't want that to happen and needed to make sure she didn't get a low score. Part of her was freaking out and the other part was trying to calm down and finding a good duelist to make sure her scores won't be low.
It didn't take long for her to find someone; or rather, he found her.
"You Obelisk boys think you're better…"
Rosa frowned, speaking to him and placing her duel disk on and starting her first duel with him and reigned victorious at the end.
"How could I lose to someone like you?"
He asks her; with a smug look on her face she laughs and responds to him with a hearty voice.
"It's because you underestimated me!"
Golden eyes staring down at him with a cold expression on her face, she let out a gentle sigh and departed away to find someone else, hoping it would have to be someone from Ra Yellow.
With more duels, she was beginning to feel light headed and dizzy- lying down on her bed and resting.
"Something doesn't feel right."
Rosa muttered to herself, she wasn't even sure as she had her hand on top of her forehead.
A sigh, Rosa had sat under a tree and hoped no one would see her. She was trying to avoid obtaining more duels from anyone that thought that she was a push-over and could be beat easily because of where she stood.
Hungry as she was, she had sat down and took her time to replenish her energy back. While eating, she had heard a voice speak to her. "Howdy…! Is it okay if I sit with ya? There's no one ta eat with, so I figured two people sittin' alone could sit together! Ehehe… T-The names Jesse Anderson!"
Head turned to stare at the blue haired male and smiled slightly, and went to introduce herself too. "Nice ta meet ya Jesse! Name's Rosa!" She replied, smiling back but not seeing any sign of Jaden; they were practically stuck together like glue!
"Where's Jaden? Isn't he usually with ya?"
A pause, unzipping his lunch bag and pulled out a sandwich and took a large bite out of it. Chewing on it a few times before swallowing, "detention."
They still had class, besides just having to duel people with their bio bands.
Rosa had laughed slightly, she should've figured. "Thought so, that seems so like him. Guess he didn't want ya ta say, huh?"
"Yeah- ya right there."
They had both laughed for a moment before Jesse finished another bite of his sandwich and spoke, "Mmmn— I haven't seen you 'round before… Maybe I'm just blind… Then again, I think Jay would'a said somethin' t' me if he had a girlfriend~"
Coughing on her onigiri, golden hue's widened hearing the other say that; now Rosa wasn't sure what to think about it and had to get it straight; where did he get this idea from?
"Huh!? Ya got it wrong! Blimey! Jay ain't the type ta like someone like me, besides; I already have my eyes set on someone better!"
Sure, Rosa liked Jaden…but just as a friend. She wanted to try and explain as best as she could to Jesse that the guy she liked wasn't sorta clueless when it came to someone's romantic feeling.
"Sorry, sorry; I'm just teasin' ya!"
Pouting, Rosa shrunk herself slightly and looked away; she wasn't one to like teasing- especially because it was the kind that would make her heart race, that would get her to think too much about it and get easily flustered.
"I don't see why not, yer' pretty, an' a nice person! Jay ain't the type a' guy t' just look on the outside, y'know. Besides that, I'm sure whoever y'all like is a nice guy too!"
What Jesse had said about Jaden was quite true, he's nice but she just isn't really into him at all- she had liked Aster since she was young; that hadn't changed and didn't want it to.
Cheeks turned red, she wasn't even sure how to respond; it was a compliment- something she hardly received.
"Haha…I dun know, no one's really called me pretty or anythin'."
"Really? A shame really, maybe they're jus' too shy t' come an' tell ya!"
Jesse smiles towards Rosa, trying to give her some reassurance; 'maybe he thinks I'm pretty but doesn't want to say it aloud?' Rosa thinks, still feeling strange at the compliments she receives. She doesn't know how to respond to such a thing and gives a short response, "I'm sure they probably are."
At first, Rosa she isn't sure why but she feels like maybe telling him would be best to make everything clear, plus Jesse was sorta alike to Jaden. Perhaps he too, was trustworthy to also call a friend?
"Oh smokes, he is a prit nice guy. A handsome bloke at that one, I'm sure ya know the name of Aster Phoenix, yeah? Well- got my eyes set on 'im; yeah sure he don't know but maybe one day."
She feels it's better to tell someone; besides, should it really matter if he tells everyone? Not like they'd care, the only one who would care is Aster.
"Aww, ain't that sweet! I won't tell a soul, promise! If ya got yer eye on em' I think you should start off by talkin' with em'! It never hurts to start off by bein' friends— An' if ya are friends then go out fer' a bite to eat!"
Rosa wonders if Jesse would believe her if she tells him she has been friends with him for a long time.
"Ya see, 'm already friends with 'im. Me and 'im 'ave been friends since childhood. Me father and 'is have been friends since High School; father went abroad to America to learn English and he met Aster's dad, an' that's how they 'came friends. Then when I went to America, it was natural the two friends would meet again in Industrial Illusions. Aster's my first love; haven't gotten over him at all."
Eyes gazed at the green grass and smiled, remembering being told when she first met Aster; she was only two and a half years old and got to meet the cute baby that was Aster. She had visited him as many times as possible, went to the same primary school as him but of course when his father was gone, she couldn't be allowed to see him. Why, she hadn't a clue.
Teal orbs of Jesse stared at the brunette, curious but didn't want to ask any longer than that.
"There ya are, Jess."
Both heads turned to stare at who is was, to see Jaden there with a smile on his face, seeing Jesse get up, Jaden turns to see Rosa still slowly munching on her food.
"Wanna hang with us?"
He asks, she shakes her head.
"Wanna finish my food first then rest."
She tells them, "alright! If you wanna hang and talk about cards, you know where to find us!"
Within the next few days, majority of the students were collapsing, including her.
Now waking up to what felt like an earthquake, Rosa shot open her eyes and looked around to see most of the other students had already woke up.
Not understanding what was doing on she decided to get out and packed the bed away to take a look around.
"I see you're up."
Turning around she saw Chazz with his three ojama's on his shoulder.
"Yeah, I just took a look around and could see that we're in another dimension."
It did make her feel quite weird however she did hope there would be a way for them to get back home.
"Anyway, head to the gym. Everyone's been gathered there; we're not somewhere where we're familiar with."
Nodding her head now, the female went off and departed to the gymnasium to see the other students there along with Crowler and Bonaparte.
Listening to what Jim had to say, most people were talking amongst themselves, they wanted to go home and had doubts that they wouldn't even be able to get back to their own world. Jesse telling them that they had to get their act together, stop being negative and work in groups. Shattering news came next when Dorothy said they only had about a week's worth of food and water. It wasn't enough and no one knew how long they would stay there.
